सर्वार्थसंभावो देहो जनितः पोषित यतः I नतयोयॉति निर्वेशं पित्रो मर्त्य शतायुषा II (Shrimad Bhagwat 10/45/5) On the waning phase's eleventh tithi of Kartik month, from the eleven senses of Lord Vishnu, a divine light gave birth to an elegant, saintly, weapon-wielding, and divine goddess, who we know to be Godmother Ekadashi. This book explains both the scientific and religious importance of Ekadashi in brief. The significance of all twenty-six Ekadashi is given with the references of stories and from Puranas along with pictures. The significance and views as per Pushti Sampraday and as per Maryada Path are also given here. Apart from that, the difference between Pushti's and Maryada's paths is also explained in brief. Generally in the story of Utapatti Ekadashi, we come to know about the origin of the goddess Ekadashi, but here it is given separately. Apart from that, the Vrat of all Ekadashi, their benefits, their Aarti, and information about how to consume Prasad are also given in this book. All detailed knowledge about the food pattern of Ekadashi Vrat according to religious texts is written in this book. (An information about the 'Bhog' / 'Thaal' which we offer to the Lord is also given in this book).
